Southbrook Triomphe Cabernet Franc 2010, VQA Niagara On The Lake
Ontario, Canada$21.95
A wine made with passion and diligence with respect for the land. This organically grown wine finally proves what so many organic renegades already knew. You might think I’m full of it, but try this deliciously smooth Cabernet Franc and you will walk away a believer in the organic movement as well. Guaranteed.

Domaine De L'herminette Grand Cras Morgon 2013, Ac
Beaujolais, France$19.95
This is a super high quality & super high class Beaujolais. This would impress the snootiest wine snob or amateur wine drinker all the same. In the beginning, the nose bursts fresh fruit puree (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries & loganberries). The fruit is complemented by a perfumed musk reminiscent of violets, roses, brown sugar, sea salt and hints of tomato plant...I'm not kidding, it's that complex. The palate is supple but with a beautiful finish. Wow at this price, it's Beaujolais at it's finest. Highly recommended!

De Wetshof Finesse Lesca Estate Chardonnay 2012, Wo Robertson
Robertson, South Africa$14.75
Wow this is outstanding...Especially considering it's under $20 bones. Really nice natural and pure nose of butter, mineral, white musk, melon, banana and cream. (lot's of Malolactic on this baby). The palate is full suave with intense-elegance. Nice structured finish.

Bayton Chardonnay 2012, Wo Constantia
South Africa$17.95
Isn't this what everybody wants in a full bodied chardonnay...the fat, the voluptuous fruit and lush mouth feel, the butter without the overbearing wood taste...??? Well I love this full sexy style and to me, I need to look no further...at $17.95 a bottle, this is quite amazing stuff...there's a boat load of Chards that cost $50 a bottle and they are in the shadows compared to the quality of this Bayten SA whites are blowing my socks off lately... Best QPR Chard I've ever tasted!

Villa Ponciago Beaujolais Villages 2012, Ac
Beaujolais, France$15.30
Who knew Village Beaujolais could be so good...Give it a second to open up in your glass...it's opens up like a rose does to spring, revealing rose petels, sweet berries, waxy cherries, earth and game notes. Fresh and smooth on the palate, finishes with structure...light bodied. Nothing to complain about here...lovely is the best word to describe this little piece of wonderful.

Tierra Del Fuego Limited Edition Cabernet Sauvignon/Syrah/Carmenère 2008, Maule Valley
Maule Valley, Chile$19.95
Nice deep purple ruby stain in the glass leads to a classic carmenere nose...smoky black cherries, chili peppers, creamy oaky vanilla. A tad off balance, lazy & hot, but a nice long finish.
